An adjustable retainer for use simultaneously with various widths of cargo has four identical retainer sections, a first and a second section being disposed along the length of one side of a cargo carrying vehicle and a third and a fourth being disposed along the opposite side of the vehicle such that the first and the fourth retainer sections are opposite each other. Each retainer section is composed of a series of parallel flat elongated members each having a first and second end. Each first end of each flat member is pivotably fastened to the floor at the side wall of the vehicle. Each second end of each flat member is pivotably attached to a long angle member which in turn is attached to a long hollow cylindrical member. The hollow cylindrical members of each of the four retainer members may be positioned adjacent to the cargo. A pair of spanner bars each having two pivotal connections joins the first and the second retainer sections and the third and the fourth retainer sections. The two pivot points on each spanner bar compensate for the different widths of cargo to which the first and the fourth retainer sections and the seocnd and the third retainer sections are adjusted.
